ity cf 72, thus Giving Him a Clean
Sweep—Majority is Increased to Over
1,300, Largest in History of Dirt ict.
While there are no official election
returns in there is nothing today to
change the results as heretofore pub
lished. The advices from Raleigh,
Monroe and Summers counties give I).
F- French an increased majority. The
first information from Heckley was
ihat Mr. French had lost the county
of Raleigh by a small majority but
today’s advices from Heckley are to
the effect that Mr. French carried the
county by a majority of seventy-two,
thus giving him every county in the
senatorial district. The reports from
Summers today gave Mr. French an
increase of nearly one hundred in his
majority, while Mercer and Monroe
remain practically the same. Mr.
French's majority as it now appears
is slightly beyond 1300, by far largest
ever credited to any senatorial candi
date in this district. The majorities
of Mr. French are as follows:
Mercer. 155; Summers, 092; Mon
roe, 390; Raleigh, 72.

fination. President Taft Is making
the trl|» to tlie Isthmus to obtain the
necessary information on which to
make Ids recommendations to Con
vreyn for legislation regarding Urn
Canal,
One of tie' most important questions
to lie decided by the President relates
to the form of government, lie will
recommend that Congress adopt for
the canal zone. Col. rjocthals, the
chief engineer, has recommended that
t military government for the entire
zone be adopted, instead of the pres
ent system of government by executive
order. r
Congress will also have its stf/uv
tion culled to the establishment of a
toll rate for the canal. This is an
Importa,nt question, as on its solu

THE PRIZE ESSAY.
(By Mi*s Hazel Becker)
Tho Kvonlng I.oador In offering iho
oharuo of a life tlmo. Tin* opportunity
of getting a "Hudson Touring Car”
for simply a Httlo bit of work, is onn
not to bo latighor! at. It Is ono of tho
boat cam mndo; It is strong, will stand
all kinds of bad roads; it is roomy,
speody, and stylish. Tho Hudson lots
moro high grxdo rmrhfinlral foaturos,
moro of tho blgbost rlass of matorials,
moro skillod workmanship, moro room
than any other car. which seems to
come in the name dans. The Hudson
Motor far fompany Is distinguished
from other makers of high quality
cars; it offers a flood far at a low
price. The men who are responsible
for the Hudson have been experiment
ing for the last twelve years and the
Hudson’’ people have profited by
their experience. They did not Iwive
to pay large sums of money experi
menting. The Hudson far Is a ear
of class; those who own one are not
utiied of it, they do not havo to
make apologies why they bought tho
Hudson; people by looking at It can
understand why. The motor develops
a full 2rt-2.'» horse power, it is simple
and the Hudson has been driven six
ty-three miles an hour at a stretch.
The motor bearings are interchange
able. The front crank and pump
drive are provided with packing
glands, and there Is no chance of oil
leaking. The 11 ihIkou Is a long stroke
inoiiii ; the best foreign ears have been
using the long w roke for years. The
design and construction are Identical
with those used on ears costing four
ie'etas much. The Hudson averages
from eighteen to twenty-three miles
on a gallon of gasoline. It has two
hundred and twenty inches of break
ing surface; its springs are untinually
long and mounted with henvler and
[stronger tit tings than many cars of
it wire the weight. The tonnenu will
comfortably carry three. The Hudson
I' a < an arhto'rntic appearance; Its
ong wheel hare, staunchly made body
I and Its handsome frame have brought
| it before tile eyes of the people more
I prominently than any other car built.
No effort has been spared by fts rnak
ei to have the car absolutely high
grad**. Ha eh body receives eighteen
I rents of the best paint. It is licensed
under the Xolden patent. They aro
warranted t<» buyers under the rvgu*
liar Standard Warranty of the Nation,
al Association of Automobile Manu«
facturers. The horse power of the
Imlron Is 20-25, wheel base Is HO
inches and weight 2 000 pounds. The
gar.olltie cap icily is ten gallons, water
j capacity, four gallons. Mr. R. I),
f ha pin is President. -Probably no
c in in the automobile business is bet*
ter known than .Mr. Chapin. He wns
formerly *-ai< manager of the Old's
Motor Works.
Kvery one need* an uutom'ohil'J.
They «r< no longer a luxury to people,
they a re necessary Kvery (nisi ness
man needs one, tt helps his business
and most assuredly helps him.
Other prize* offered by The Leader
»re a hand'omo one hundred and fifty
dollar bed-room suite of quartered oak
which would be a credit to any one'n
home .Next is a gentleman's gold
watch. This W'ateh has nineteen Jew*
els. is of the best make and has a
strikingly beautiful rase. It is hand
engraved and Is worth working for.
There is also a lady’s watch offer*
ed and a diamond ring The watch
has a hand engraved ease, is a nice
size, not too large or too small. Tho
ring Is a half carat. Is set in a Tiffany
setting. The lady may take her
choice between the watch and ring.
There should be a great many eon*
testants for these prizes as they art*
worth working for. Fvery one must
get busy and get their friends rounded
up for subscriptions. You may never
have another chance like this one.
